Mix Master Mike’s Roots

Known for heavy-hitting bass and intricate scratch routines, Mix Master Mike was named as one of the greatest DJs of all time by USA Today. He got his initial itch for vinyl while growing up in San Francisco, listening to his uncle’s extensive record collection. Years later, the moment that had the most impact on him was catching Grandmixer DST on stage with Herbie Hancock.

In addition to rocking out with Mix Master Mike, guests will ring in 2014 with a balloon drop, confetti storm, champagne toast, party favors and much more.

Tickets are now on sale at www.vailnye.com and will be sold at three levels, starting at $75. Attendees must be age 21 and older. All ticket levels include access to the evening’s entertainment and VIP amenities.
